Seminar-Training “Healthy Nutrition and Lifestyle”

A seminar-training session titled " Healthy Nutrition and Lifestyle " was held at the Department of Economics of the Higher School of Economics and Business at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, attended by first-year students from the Kazakh-language stream of the "Economics" educational program.

The main purpose of the event was to provide students with an understanding of the importance of healthy nutrition for well-being and everyday life, encourage interest in a healthy lifestyle, and promote a responsible attitude towards personal health.

During the seminar, students were introduced to the basic principles of healthy nutrition. They discussed how to organize a balanced daily diet, the importance of adequate water intake, and the role of vegetables, fruits, protein-rich foods, and healthy fats. The potential negative effects of excessive consumption of fast food, sugary drinks, and foods high in sugar were also discussed.

An important feature of the seminar-training was the active participation of students. The participants were divided into several teams, completed practical tasks, and exchanged ideas. Each team was asked to prepare a mini-project related to healthy nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

The students prepared and presented projects on topics such as “A Student’s Healthy Daily Menu”, “Key Principles of a Healthy Lifestyle”, “Healthy and Unhealthy Food Choices”, and “Effective Ways to Maintain Student Health”. Teamwork allowed students to demonstrate creativity, express and justify their opinions, and consider the perspectives of other participants.

The seminar emphasized that healthy nutrition is not a temporary diet, but an important part of everyday life. Students also discussed the importance of adequate sleep, physical activity, outdoor activities, and maintaining a healthy balance between studying and rest.

The seminar-training is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, the event contributes to SDG 3 – “Good Health and Well-being”, SDG 4 – “Quality Education”, and SDG 12 – “Responsible Consumption and Production”.

At the end of the seminar, students shared their impressions and suggestions on developing healthy habits in their daily lives.

The “Healthy Nutrition and Lifestyle” seminar-training was an important educational initiative aimed at promoting health awareness among students, encouraging a healthy lifestyle, and fostering a conscious and responsible attitude towards personal health among young people.
